It has become the 3-letter word of backpacker legend – TAO. People told me to ‘do Tao’ long before I booked my flights to the Philippines. Embarrassed to admit I didn’t actually have a clue what or who Tao was, I nodded along enthusiastically and consulted my trusty guidebook. There was no place by this name in the index, no secluded beach or off-the-beaten-track town. I looked online and discovered that in the Filipino language of Tagalog, ‘tao’ means ‘human’.
